2020 Map of Hunter Mountain

About this map

Hunter Mtn and Bendire Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape in eastern Malheur County, where a network of seasonal springs and strategic water management define the terrain. The presence of Hunter Ditch and numerous catchments like Kitten Canyon Reservoir and Big Flat Reservoir illustrates the critical role of water infrastructure in this arid environment. The map details a complex drainage system, from the headwaters of Godding Cr and N Bully Cr to the deep incisions of Baker City Canyon. Named landmarks such as Steamboat Rock and the broad Beaver Dam Flat serve as essential orientation points. Notable springs with evocative names like Schoolmarm Spring and Honeymoon Cr suggest a history of human activity and cattle ranching across these ridges and basins.
